The Alnwick and Denwick Neighbourhood Plan is a collaborative effort led by Alnwick Town Council in consultation with Denwick Parish Council. This partnership ensures that decisions regarding the Neighbourhood Plan are made with the best interests of both communities in mind.
Alnwick Community Partnership
To facilitate effective plan delivery, Alnwick Town Council has entrusted the Alnwick Community Partnership with the responsibility of serving as the primary discussion forum for all matters related to the Neighbourhood Plan. This partnership plays a crucial role in:
- Gathering community input
- Facilitating discussions on plan-related topics
- Ensuring broad representation of local interests
The Alnwick Community Partnership is open to all interested individuals, with a particular emphasis on welcoming representatives from active groups and organisations within the plan area. This inclusive approach ensures that a diverse range of voices and perspectives are heard throughout the planning process.
For those interested in the ongoing discussions and decisions made by the Community Partnership, meeting minutes are readily available for public review.
Alnwick and Denwick Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group
To manage the day-to-day aspects of the Neighbourhood Plan, a smaller steering group has been formed from the wider Alnwick Community Partnership. This dedicated team is tasked with:
- Leading the development of the Neighbourhood Plan
- Working closely with the community to shape the plan’s direction
- Ensuring the plan supports the long-term sustainable future of Alnwick and Denwick
The Steering Group is supported by a project team comprising topic leads, each focusing on specific aspects of the Neighbourhood Plan. This structure allows for in-depth consideration of various elements crucial to the area’s development.
Transparency and Accountability
To maintain transparency in the planning process, the Steering Group has established clear terms of reference, which are available for public review. Additionally, minutes from Steering Group meetings are published regularly, allowing community members to stay informed about the progress and decisions made during the plan’s development.
